The Difference
The combination no other agent in Winter Park can offer.
A media platform
As the host of the Emmy-nominated, Telly Award-winning national show American Dream TV, I know how to tell the story of a home, a neighborhood, and a lifestyle in a way that connects with people. Your home is presented to buyers across the country and around the globe.
Winter Park, firsthand
I have called Winter Park home for more than 35 years. I know the streets, the neighborhoods, the lakefront properties, and how values move block by block, and I bring that knowledge to every home I represent.
Undivided attention
My business is structured so you work directly with me, not a queue of assistants. One advisor, your whole story, from the first conversation to the keys in your hand. You will never wonder who is actually handling your transaction.
In their words
"Knowledgeable, patient, kind, trusted, available, easy to work with. Knows the market, knows the neighborhoods, understands pricing, makes the process easy."
Who I help
Clients with a plan, and clients who just need one.
Home sellers
Pricing, preparation, and a story buyers can see. The goal is not just a sale; it is the right sale, negotiated well, on your terms.
Luxury buyers
Premium homes, lakefront addresses, and new construction demand a different level of diligence. I know where the value hides and where the overpriced ones sit.
Downsizing & empty nesters
Next chapter moves that honor the past and fit the future. Right sizing is about the life you are moving toward, not just the square footage you are leaving.
First-time buyers
Patient education and honest guidance, so your first purchase is a confident one. You should understand every step before you sign it.
Move-up & growing families
More space, a neighborhood that fits, a move that makes sense for the next decade. I help families leap without overreaching.
The setting
Winter Park is the whole point.
Brick streets under live oaks, a chain of six lakes, a town built around a park in winter. The neighborhoods each have their own character: the storied lanes of The Vias, the historic streets of Virginia Heights, the lakefront communities on the water. Homes across these areas typically range from $500K to $2.5M+, with the emphasis on luxury and $1M+ properties.

The market
Where prices live in Winter Park.
I work across a typical range of $500K to $2.5M+, with my focus on luxury and $1M+ properties and an average target around $1.2M. The top of the market prices differently, especially along the lakes, which is exactly why generic market data rarely tells a seller what they need to know.

What is it really like to live in Winter Park?
A small town with a world class cultural life, built around a chain of six lakes. Here is what living here actually feels like, from someone who has called it home for more than 35 years.
Strategy · September 17, 2026
Should I renovate my house or sell it?
The most common question I hear. The honest answer starts with what you are trying to accomplish over the next five to ten years, not with the kitchen.

Right sizing: what comes after the kids leave?
The family home has a way of holding two generations at once. Letting go is an emotional decision first and a financial one second, and it deserves a guide who understands both.
